Leading Hybrid Teams

Lead with confidence, no matter the distance.

“Working from home” has often been viewed with suspicion. But organisations like The United Nations Development Programme, Dell and indeed Think Productive have operated almost exclusively remotely for years. We’ve long seen remote working as a flexible, agile competitive advantage.

Now we’re in a world of hybrid working. So, how do you manage people you can’t see – or not all the time? What does “Office Hours” mean? When people have conflicting work and personal priorities, other stuff to do in the day, and varied, flexible remote schedules, how do you make sure that the work gets done? Is high value work even possible when we are infrequently in the same space? What role does tech play in all of this?

Delivered by one of our expert Productivity Ninjas® (all of whom work remotely), this three-hour interactive workshop looks at strategic perspectives as well as practical tools and take-aways, helping you lead a productive, agile, happy and informed hybrid team.

Relaxed, sharing of views. Friendly informal feel but with lots of very human observations which got me thinking, particularly around the culture of an organisation and how to develop/sustain that remotely.
